Q: In the past, you often recommended CDZ as the best dividend focused ETF for Canada. However, when I look at the CDZ performance over YTD, 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years periods, this ETF clearly underperformed index ETFs such as XIU or XIC, even in total return terms (i.e. counting dividends). Unfortunately, I hold CDZ in RRSP and TFSA accounts and clearly not happy with the performance. Do you still keep CDZ in high esteem or would suggest swapping it with something else?

Q: I understand the superficial loss rule in a non-reg account. What happens when one sells a stock at a loss and buys it back within the 30 days but sells everything by year end settlement date. Thanks

Q: I own the the following preferred shares: ENB.PR.B, SLF.PB.G and TRP.PB.B. What's your opinion on these for a conservative investor? Is the dividend safe? Is there much chance of improved performance in the short to medium term? Thanks - Richard

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

If already owning XHC, would the ETF TDOC serve as a complementary holding, since we're a bit low in the Health Care sector? I like its low (.35%) MER and the 2% cap on any one company, but is its AUM too low to consider? Are there any other Canadian listed ETFs that would be suitable?

Thanks for your insight.

Q: How do these 3 compare? Is US energy exposure necessary?

I have a chunk of each of these names.

Please rank in order of preference for overall rerun in next 3 years. Do all names have to be kept or can I consolidate them?

Thank you.

Q: What is your opinion on this US healthcare stock regarding valuation, prospects, and risk. It seems cheap but do you consider its concentration on drugs a potential pitfall if the US decides to reduce allowable charges for prescriptions. Would you buy CI or are UNH Elevance or Humana better equities to hold? Appreciate your views.
